Cabin Air Filter Replacement at Larry H. Miller Ford Draper

Cabin Filter Replacement at Larry H. Miller Ford Draper

Every vehicle these days has a central heating, air conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) system - which means that it has a cabin air filter. As its name suggests, this filter helps regulate airflow coming from the outside into the car itself through the air conditioning

The cabin filter helps maintain purity of the air that you breathe when with the windows up. But like all filters, it will eventually need replacement. When your Ford needs a new cabin filter, you can order one online through our parts center at Larry H. Miller Ford Draper. Or, you can request an appointment with our service center to have a cabin filter installed here in Draper.

When & Why to Replace Your Cabin Filter

The air conditioning system of your Ford takes in air from the outside, filters out dust and pollen with the cabin filter, and pumps the air with refrigerant to provide optimal cooling on a hot day in Utah. Depending on your commute and the local air quality, your cabin air filter will likely need replacement about every 15,000-25,000 miles. Drivers with infrequent commutes, or those who do not use their air conditioner often, might not need immediate replacement. But, we do not recommend waiting past 30,000 miles.

Some drivers consider this filter replacement a do-it-yourself project, and you can easily locate the cabin filter. On most new Ford models, the cabin filter is located behind the glove compartment. You can consult your owner's manual, or our expert Ford service team, to know for sure.

Beware of Signs that Your Cabin Filter Needs Replacement

If your Ford has reached around 25,000 miles, we strongly advise you to order a cabin filter replacement or visit our service center. A clogged or expired cabin filter will present itself as a musty or moldy smell permeating throughout the cabin. As the filter becomes more clogged, it will likely diminish the effectiveness of the air conditioner. In extreme cases, a clogged filter can prevent air from flowing into your car entirely.
